Probably not the best title...

I have a terrain that is generated at runtime from an array of a custom vertex format, I would like to add some normal mapping to my terrain shader but (to my knowledge) you can't use MeshHelper.CalculateTangentFrames outside of the ModelProcessor, so how can I calculate the tangents for my custom vertex format?

Thanks in advance...

Shawn,

The terrain is 3D, having a depth(z) a width(x) and a height(y). It is based on Reimers terrain tutorial. Would this method still work, it sounds like it would??

Shawn,

Yes, sorry for the confusion, I am new so terminology sometimes confuses me. I have done as you have said and it works :) I just have to get some nice normals for my terrain now, I tested it with the good ols rock.tga with it's normal map.

@IXciD,

Thanks, it's nice to know people read the blog, glad my stuff helps. :) Once I have the normal mapped terrain finished I will put it up on the blog.

Wow, that was  a lot of code... I must be missing a trick because I just did what Shawn said, it seemed to do the job. I guess it will all come out in the testing...

Thanks for the link though, gives me a place to start when it all goes wrong. :)

Shawn,

Thanks for that I have it working now Terrain with Bump Mapping
